Continuous Stirring

French Press 12 Cup French press by Intelligentsia Coffee

Intelligentsia Coffee's French press guide uses a staged crust break and repeated stirring to tune a large immersion brew. Shorter contact emphasizes brightness; a longer steep develops sweetness and roundness for a full-bodied but adjustable cup.

Notes

Keep all grounds submerged during the active extraction, but stop stirring for the final 1 min so sediment can settle. Choose 4 min for more acidity or 5-6 min for a rounder profile. Press only to just above the grounds and decant immediately.
